Quiz Game

Overview

This game follows the format of the TV quiz game Jeopardy. Three students compete to answer questions and earn points. Since this game uses PowerPoint, it's great for quizes that have an image, video, or sound as part of the question. This game works best with three students playing and the rest watching, which is not ideal from an educational perspective. For a game where more students can participate, see Group Quiz Game.

There are many PowerPoint templates for similar games available on the web; this one has been "scrubbed" of copyrighted images and music.
